I assume it's this: http://eu.suitsupply.com/en/suits/w...refn1=styleFit&prefv1=Contemporary-Washington

I hope you're not a 50L, because I just bought the last one.

mcobinad - one of my favorite of your fits - I really, really like it. Orange and blue looks great on you. To be honest, I do not always give you thumbs - sometimes your fits can be a bit on the tight spectrum for me (I am stingy with thumbs, probably not my best characteristic) (with that said, any pics with your family gets a thumb from me - your kids are awesome). Thank you for sharing all these pictures of Lisbon, and of the MTM - very good reading.

Also, where are you getting your MTM from?

Hi Newcomer,

Thanks for the compliment. I can understand where you are coming from in relation to thumbs hahaha. That said, I am making my suits/sports jackets/shirts from an English artisanal tailoring company that moved production to Portugal (formerly based few streets away from Savile row). All suits are made (hand finished on certain areas) to a high level of dexterity employing as minimum half/fully canvas construction method

Very cool! Would love to hear about your experiences, perhaps in a separate thread. Always nice to learn about new companies, especially ones that are putting out a quality product. Difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff nowadays.

I will certainly report of my experiences (good/bad) here when all is said and done. So far they have proved beyond reasonable doubt (customer positive reviews) that they are a company of strong repute. Thus far, customer service from start to finish has been impeccable. These guys certainly know how to look after their clients. For me, this is primordial

Shoulder season--tie and trousers say spring, jacket says it's still winter.

I am frantically working on the transition, and have slated a few WAYWT images for the "header" image. In the new system, we will change this out more often, so make sure to stay tuned to the classic menswear forum (and streetwear and denim forum as well) to see who might be on the header!

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

i think this is the best jacket silhouette i've seen of yours. it *may* be the higher buttoning point. but for some reason, it strikes me as better than any other jacket i've seen you post, as far as the silhouette and how it flatters your upper body shape. so, looks good my friend.

 

[afterthesuit]

Today just POAPs. Did the navy trousers work? Might be hard to tell without a full shot...

 

[heldentenor]

Thanks Moss--this is my only jacket with rounded quarters, which elongates my silhouette. As a short guy, that can be flattering--maybe that's what you're seeing?
